Last week, Hexion along with DD-Compound and Wilson Custom Composites, announced a new “one-shot” manufacturing solution for the marine composites market that combines a recently developed, low viscosity resin system from Hexion with the unique DD-Compound MTI® infusion process. Hexion says the new process drastically saves time versus traditional hand lamination and enhances part strength.
The new low exothermic, low viscosity Hexion resin system – consisting of EPIKOTE™ MGS™ Resin RIMR 235 and EPIKURE™ MGS™ Curing Agent RIMH 238 – infuses in the ambient conditions typical of most marine production environments while maintaining high mechanical properties. When the Hexion infusion system is used in conjunction with the new Boat Runner resin feed line, MTI® suction line, core material and beams from DD-Compound, all fibers and core materials can be impregnated in a variety of layers without problems, in one shot.
